Canadian/Gate Operator Programming

For programming transmitters in Canada/United States
that require the transmitter signals to “time-out” after
several seconds of transmission.

Canadian radio frequency laws require transmitter sig-
nals to time-out (or quit) after several seconds of trans-
mission – which may not be long enough for HomeLink

to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this
Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to
time-out in the same manner.

It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling
process to prevent possible overheating of the garage
door or gate motor.

1. Cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.

2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm)

away from the HomeLink

௡ button you wish to program

while keeping the HomeLink

௡ indicator light in view.

3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink

௡ button,

while you press and release (“cycle”), your hand-held
transmitter every two seconds until HomeLink

௡ has

successfully accepted the frequency signal. The indi-
cator light will flash slowly and then rapidly when
fully trained.

4. Watch for the HomeLink

௡ indicator to change flash

rates. When it changes, it is programmed. It may take
up to 30 seconds or longer in rare cases. The garage
door may open and close while you are programming.

5. Press and hold the programmed HomeLink

௡ button

and observe the indicator light.

• If the indicator light stays on constantly, program-

ming is complete and the garage door/device should
activate when the HomeLink

௡ button is pressed.

• To program the two remaining HomeLink௡ buttons,

repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT
erase the channels.
